Strong weedkiller

My parents garden is very overgrown - and every year it gets worse and because it gets worse it becomes even more of a task to tackle so they don't....

Previously a neighbour used a spray gun type thing to spray some of it with a weedkiller he got in powder form and added water too - it cleared the area quite well but now it has all grown back.

I'm looking for something to kill the weeds/stinging nettles etc. so that they can clear areas and try to sort them out properly.

I've seen things like this: ebay.co.uk/itm/Pathclear-Weedkiller-18-Sachet-Tub-drives-Dandilion-Grass-sodium-chlorate-/261233102909 is it any good?

    It kills everything and nothing should grow there for the rest of the year if its like the old sodium chrlorate weedkillers.

    But i thought they banned that? So it maybe in a weak formula compared to older stuff.

    Seems they say 3 months now.

    Clearing the weeds is one thing, But what are you doing to prevent them coming back?
